    Thank you very much for the detail answer. But where are these relays located. Attached is the fuse box diagram, is fan1, fan2, and fan3 are the relays you are talking about, or there's another fuse box some where. Thanks

The engine cooling fan system consists of 2 electrical cooling fans and 3 fan relays. The relays are arranged in a series/parallel configuration that allows the powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) to operate both fans together at low or high speeds. The cooling fans and fan relays receive battery positive voltage from the underhood junction block. The ground path is provided at G100.
During low speed operation, the PCM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the cooling fan 1 relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and supplies battery positive voltage from the cool fan 1 maxifuse?® through the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the left cooling fan. The ground path for the left cooling fan is through the cooling fan relay and the right cooling fan. The result is a series circuit with both fans running at low speed.
During high speed operation, the PCM/ECM supplies the ground path for the cooling fan 1 relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. After a 3 second delay, the PCM/ECM supplies a ground path for the cooling fan 2 relay and the cooling fan relay through the high speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the cooling fan relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and provides a ground path for the left cooling fan. At the same time the cooling fan 2 relay coil is energized closing the relay contacts and provides battery positive voltage from the cool fan 2 maxifuse?® on the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the right cooling fan. During high speed fan operation, both engine cooling fans have there own ground path. The result is a parallel circuit with both fans running at high speed.

There is 2 fuses that you have to check
one will be in the big fuse assembly in the engine bay, the other probably in the fuse assembly in the cab
If they prove ok then it is possible that the coolant temperature SENSOR is faulty and needs replacing
don't confuse it with the temperature sender which operates the temp gauge.

SOURCE: locating the fuse box for a 2005 chevrolet uplander

Try this..At the driver's seat open your car door all the way then look at the dashboard end. Pry off the plastic cover...the diagram should also be at the back of the cover.

SOURCE: radiator fan motor on my 1998 cavalier

Normally, the fan will not spin at the same RPM as the engine. This is the purpose of the fan clutch. On the fan clutch sits a little thermal spring that engages the clutch to spin the fan at the same rpm as the motor when the motor gets hotter than normal.

Being able to hold onto the fan while the motor is running, is normal (not recommended, but normal).
You can test the clutch by heating it and then trying to spin the fan while the motor is off. If it is still easy to spin, you could have a bad fan clutch, or you didn't heat it enough. It is kind of a crappy way to test.

You not having cooling issues leads me to guess that your clutch is alright. But I don't know what type of climate you live it, nor do I know in what condition your clutch is.

They can actually be difficult to replace. Easy theory, but actually doing the job may be harder than you think. They are threaded onto the water pump pulley (just one big threaded stud). To remove you need to either be really crafty, or you need a wrench designed to hold the pulley in place while you loosen the clutch and fan assembly. No, the pulley drive belt is not enough to keep the pulley from turning (it will either slip or you will turn the crank of the motor).

Usually they are on there pretty tight! When I replaced my water pump on my truck, I could not remove the fand and clutch from the water pump while in the truck (I had to remove my radiator shroud and remove it all in one piece) then I had to weld the old water pump impeller to the casting to keep it from spinning then broke it loose with a 2ft breaker bar! Seriously.

Once you get the old one off, remove the fan and bolt it to your new clutch unit. Then thread it on the water pump.

SOURCE: where is the fuse box in the 06 chevy uplander

I have a chevy uplander and you have to open the passenger door and its on the side of the dash, to the right of the glove box. You will notice a small rounf opening with just enough room for 2 fingers to go in. the whole side will come off when you pull it.

Front heater blower quit on my 2006 Chevy Uplander but the rear blower still works. Are these two blowers run off the same fuse located in the instrument panel fusebox? or under the hood? Suggestions?

No , they use different fuse's . FRT/BLWR fuse # 27 - 25 amp , RR BLWR fuse # 28 25 amp . both are located in the under hood fuse box . But the odds of this being a fuse problem are astronomical . Unless there is a electrical short circuit on that circuit . You may replace the fuse an it mite work , but for how long .? The blower motor may be going out an drawing to much current . Do you know anything about automotive electrical ? Amps , volts , resistance ? How to view a wiring diagram to see what all is involved in the blower motor electrical circuit , how to use a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter to test electrical circuits etc .... ? Plus - do you know if it has a manual or automatic climate control system ? It doesn't work on any speed ?

My chevrolet uplander radiator cooling motor fan only working, when the A/C is turn on. Any relay or fuse that I need to check?

It would be useful if you had mentioned whether it was a radiator cooling fan motor or a heater/ventilation fan.

It is usual for the cooling fan to switch on with the A/C is on unless the ambient temperature is quite low, otherwise it only operates subject to engine coolant temperature via a thermal switch fitted into the cooling system and/or the engine management system.

The heater fan is either directly switched and faults relatively simple to trace or subject to the whims of the climate control if fitted when a degree in magic is needed along with a box of tricks.

COOLONG FANS NOT TURNING ON? CAR OVERHEATING......

Some vehicle's cooling radiator fan does not turn on untill needed. If your Temperature Gauge is working as far as you know, Try running your car for over 10 miles; the fan should start working. If not, check your fuses. You can also try to directly connect the radiator colling fan motor to the battery and see if the fan works. If not, the fan motor may not be working.

2006 bmw 750li, radiator cooling fan not running when engine hot, I have replaced the sensor or switch, in the lower radiator hose with new, fan will not come on still. is there a fuse that might be...

the cooling fan fuse is located in the main fuse panel,location of which should be in your owners manual if you have one if not call the dealer and ask.it could be the cooling fan motor itself not working or the cooling fan relay.to check the cooling fan if you disconnect the plug on the back of the motor and feed direct power and ground to the terminals of the motor.if the fan starts to work then it is okay.to change the cooling fan it is a job for a shop to do as it entails alot parts removal to get to the fan itself
